Paper trading fixes: partial closes, trailing stops and clearing levels now work as they should
A third audit of the demo account fixed the things that quietly made results wrong: a partial close smaller than the lot step, a trailing stop that didn't trail, and clearing a stop or target that was ignored. Trade history on phones is clearer, and order lines no longer redraw on every tick.
Results you can trust
A demo account is only useful if its numbers are honest. Our third audit of paper trading found a few places where they weren't, and fixed them:
- Partial closes. Volumes now snap to a 0.001-lot step. A partial close smaller than that used to pay out profit without reducing the position; now it's refused, and a remainder below the step closes the whole position.
- Trailing and breakeven. A trailing stop now actually follows the price, and a breakeven move is saved.
- Removing levels. Clearing a stop-loss or take-profit from the terminal used to be silently ignored. It now removes the level.
- Guards. Editing a pending order checks it is on the right side of the market, and pending orders are cancelled if the account is frozen.
Easier on the eye
Trade history on phones now shows the newest trades first, net P/L after fees, the close time and why it closed, 20 at a time. Order lines on the chart no longer flicker by redrawing on every tick, and they show on phones too. Beginner risk rules now come only from your account settings on the server, so they're the same on every device.
